Verified Data & Ethical Content

Know what is true—and show how you know it. Source-linked data gathering, validation, human review, and approved publication.

The Problem

Arts organizations often depend on information spread across spreadsheets, websites, filings, emails, PDFs, and individual staff knowledge. Records become outdated, duplicated, inconsistent, or difficult to verify.

Result: Your organization can't make decisions with confidence. Your website shows conflicting information. Grant reports have errors. Staff spends hours trying to find the current version of something.

Funders want to see trustworthy data. Accreditors ask where you got your numbers. Your board needs reliable information to govern effectively.

What we do: We create a single, verified source of truth. We gather information from all your sources, consolidate it, validate it against your rules, get your approval, and maintain it for you.

Better data means better decisions. Better decisions mean better outcomes.

What We Do

Data Gathering & Source Inventory

We identify all records, documents, databases, and public sources relevant to your goals. Each source is documented with origin, reporting period, retrieval date, and known limitations.

Data Cleaning & Validation

We normalize records, identify duplicates, test required fields, compare conflicting sources, flag anomalies, and route uncertain records for human review.

Organizational Profiles & Directories

We structure approved information about organizations, people, programs, chapters, events, and resources so it can be reused across reports, websites, and systems.

AI-Assisted Content Creation

AI may assist with source-bounded summaries, first drafts, classifications, and document extraction. AI-generated material is treated as draft until reviewed and approved.

Human Review & Approval

Consequential claims are checked against sources. Reviewers examine accuracy, context, tone, limitations, and whether material falls within professional scope.

Corrections & Ongoing Maintenance

We provide workflows for updates, supporting evidence, corrections, and version history. Reliable information is maintained rather than published once and forgotten.

Information Types We Distinguish

Verified Fact

A statement directly supported by an identified source.

Derived Metric

A calculation produced through a documented rule or formula.

AI-Assisted Summary

A summary prepared with AI from approved sources, reviewed by a person.

Analyst Interpretation

A conclusion based on identified evidence and approved by qualified reviewer.

Client-Supplied Information

Information supplied and approved by the client but not necessarily independently verified by ArtsMetrics.
